What reading level is The Edge of the World: How the North Sea Made Us Who We Are book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Science and money They were not just different: they were the opposite of everyone else. Flat noses, little eyes far apart, prominent chins, eyebrows from their foreheads to their noses and an absolute refusal to wash their clothes ‘especially in time of thunder’; their thick, short thighs, their short feet and pigtails made them seem ominously different from people who imagined they had noses like Roman statues, big blue eyes and long legs to show off with short clothes. The faces of the Mongol...s were ‘contorted and terrible’, so the archbishop Ivo of Narbonne heard from an Englishman who had lived with them.1 They were nomads, always moving, just when Europe was netted with solid towns. They didn’t use money as Europeans did for almost everything from buying a better afterlife to settling the account on a market stall; William of Rubruck said ‘there was nothing to be sold among (them) for gold and silver, but only for cloth and garments’, and if you offered them a gold coin from Byzantium ‘they rubbed it with their fingers and put it to their noses to try by the smell whether it was copper or no’.2 They hadn’t got the point of money at all, the Westerners said; they still thought it was a kind of barter.
